The Republic of Cape Verde or Cape Verde (Portuguese: Cabo Verde, pron. IPA: ['kabu 'veɾdɨ]) is a republic located on an archipelago in the Macaronesia ecoregion of the North Atlantic Ocean, off the western coast of Africa. The previously uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century.
The country is named after Cap-Vert (meaning Green Cape) in Senegal, the westernmost point of continental Africa.
